Saturday, September 7 K Contemporary Opening Reception: , 6-9 pm Solo Exhibition: Melissa Furness: Oddments. In her newest body of work, Melissa Furness depicts compilations of objects commonly used within the history of painting as a critique of the traditional Western canon of art  In the Project Space: Ashley Eliza Williams: Communication Attempts. Williams’ paintings shift between representation and abstraction, zooming in and out of extreme focus. She is interested in what she calls “enclosed environments” or “shy ecosystems” — landscapes that exist within a contained area, often on or within a single object like a rock or cloud. These landscapes are painted with extreme detail and isolated in space. The scale is often ambiguous. Through September 28 Gallery 1261  LLC Opening Reception, 6-8 pm Ron Hicks’ latest solo exhibition Esoteric Meanderings is a continuation to Hicks’ previous show, “Faces of Eve”. The artist’s goal for this most recent body of work was to strike an emotional response in the spectator, as well as to serve as a conduit to open dialogue. Ron Hick's works have been characterized as a blend of representational art and impressionism. Some critics have compared them to paintings by Rembrandt and Daumier. The 40-year old artist translates his own moody visions with a muted palette and rarely uses pure color. He particularly favors the variety he finds in gray. "Gray allows me to capture atmosphere, mood, and layers of emotion," he says. "Gray sets the tone for the rest of the painting."

Friday, September 27 David B. Smith Gallery Opening reception, 6-8pm. Shantell Martin, Underlined in the main gallery and Adam Milner, If digging something up makes it true, what does burying do?, in the project room. If digging something up makes it true, what does burying do? features a series of ceramic wall sculptures which incorporate personal mementos and artifacts. Drawing upon display systems of the home, museum, and store, Milner carefully brings items into dialogue with each other and gives attention to their support structures. Adam Milner draws upon personal exchanges with people, things and institutions, to examine systems of intimacy, value and power. Approaching materials and spaces that are often off limits, his works reveal boundaries and involve a process of negotiation and exchange; he has performed aboard a cruise ship hosted by the app Grindr, collaborated with material engineers at NASA to use rare lunar regolith simulant, intervened in the archives of Andy Warhol, and routinely drawn his boyfriend’s blood.

In her newest body of work, Melissa Furness depicts compilations of objects commonly used within the history of painting as a critique of the traditional Western canon of art. Furness extracts common elements from their original sources and recontextualizes them as a collected pile, like rubbish, to visually discard as cliché rather than to individually revere. Her subject matter here depicts collections of items that were repeated motifs of their day, representing ideals of opulence, beauty and knowledge. In Furness’ opinion, “This canon reflects a bias in favor of art by those who have occupied the most socially, politically, and economically powerful positions in culture” Through September 28   Mai Wyn Fine Art 744 Santa Fe Drive Denver, CO, 80204    map phone:    303-893-4182 website:   www.maiwyn.com Hours:     Hours:     Thursday - Saturday 11-5, Sunday 12-4.

Summer Camp, a group exhibition featuring Sarah Bowling, Jillian FitzMaurice, Caleb Hahne, Adam Milner, George P. Perez and Ben Siekierski. Summer Camp is a deep dive into that titular rite-of-passage so ingrained in the collective American psyche. Whether a mediated or direct experience, ‘camp’ evokes the gamut of coming-of-age emotional and experiential states. Each artist has a unique relationship with presence and absence of camps in their childhood and their effects on social behaviors.
